‘SNL’ Jokes About Chappell Roan Fan Harassment With Bowen Yang Dressed as Celebrity Hippo Moo Deng: ‘We Both Deserve Patience and Grace’


Dressed as Moo Deng, Bowen Yang related the celebrity hippo's experience to that of pop superstar Chappell Roan.

During the “Weekend Update” segment of “SNL,” Bowen Yang transformed into Moo Deng, the pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand who has become a viral sensation in recent weeks. “Weekend Update” host Colin Jost noted that visitors have begun throwing bananas and shellfish at internet star Moo Deng in her zoo enclosure in order to get the hippo’s attention. Roan, who skyrocketed to fame this year with songs like “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Hot to Go!,” has made headlines recently for her comments about “entitled” and “creepy” fans who have stalked and harassed her.
